Yamaha Other description

This is my Yamaha 650 Turbo Seca.  It is in excellent condition.  Everything works, including all lights, gauges, warning lights, signals, etc.

The compression on all four cylinders  is 125 psi, about as good as you can get.  I have recently rebuilt all four carbs with complete carb kits, not just cleaned them and replace a few gaskets.   The petcock was rebuilt (very important with these bikes as otherwise fuel will leak through the carbs into the crankcase and through the turbo), replaced all spark plugs, all fluids, rebuilt the front brake calipers with new NOS Yamaha kits, replaces the brake lines with braided stainless steel lines and resealed the front forks. The carburator air box was resealed and the fuel pressure regulator was replaced.  The turbo was also replaced with a rebuilt unit.  It has a new battery.  The bike also has the Yamaha Turbo Boost which the raises the turbo boost from 7 to 12 psi. 

The bike starts easily, idles smoothly and runs as it should.  At about 5-6000 rpm the turbo comes on the  bike takes off.  It is a blast to drive, smooth, fast and very agile.

The bike is in excellent condition for it's age.  I would say it is well above average cosmetically, with just a few paints scratches and nicks.  There are no dents or digs and the mufflers are  dent free.

There are many sights where you can learn all about these great bikes.  One I like is Vince's Seca Turbo page.  It was a big help in the restoration and continuing maintenance of this rare bike.

Buyer is responsible for pick-up and shipping.  I will assist and can store the bike inside for a reasonable amount of time.

The World Endurance Championship Starts This Weekend

Wed, 23 Apr 2014

Endurance racing is perhaps the ultimate test of both man and machine. In the past, teams would pace themselves in order to rest both elements enough to make a final push at the end. These days, however, motorcycles are more reliable than ever, and riders train like triathletes.
